There’s no better time to treat those you love (or yourself) after a long year. I know it can be overwhelming shopping for multiple people, especially if you haven’t planned in advance. But have no fear, I’ve put my fashion and shopping expertise to work and rounded up the best of the best worth shopping. Picks include matching sets, pajamas, slippers, cashmere sweaters, designer bags, initial necklaces, watches and more from brands like Coach, Free People, Reformation, Everlane, Baublebar, Kate Spade and more. There’s something for those you know like the back of your and the ones you want to show your appreciation to. Shop giftables starting at just $7, below.
Best Fashion Gifts
I would say one of the more difficult items to shop for around the holidays is clothes and shoes. If you don’t have a list of every size the people in your life wear, it can pose a challenge. And as a former fashion designer, my recommendation is to go cozy. Think cashmere sweaters like these ones from Quince and Mango or matching sets like this one from Lillusory or The Mayfair Group. These picks are sure to leave your loved ones grinning from ear to ear.

Everlane Half-Zip Sweater
When I don’t know someone’s size, I opt for something that I can guesstimate and it’s a bit more forgiving than a pair of shoes or pants, and my go-to is a half-zip sweater similar to this one from Everlane. It comes in 10 colors, including beige, black, brown, and green, plus sizes 2XS to 2XL. The sweater features an easy oversized fit that’s great for layering, and it’s made from a plush merino wool that’s sure to keep you warm on cooler days.
PJ Salvage Print Cotton Flannel Pajamas
Don’t know what to gift a friend, coworker, or distant relative? Well a set of PJ Salvage’s Print Cotton Flannel Pajamas are always a safe and cozy bet. They come in 11 festive and crafty prints and include a button up collared top and drawstring wide leg bottoms.
Dearfoams Fireside Sydney Shearling Fur Indoor/Outdoor Slipper
I go through slippers almost quarterly since I work from home and the best pair I’ve ever been gifted have been Dearfoams Fireside Sydney Shearling Fur Slippers. They hold up well both indoors and outdoors and the memory foam cushion makes them super comfy for long morning walks. They feature a suede exterior, 100 percent Australian shearling interior that’s moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating, and a lightweight rubber sole that offers great grip.
Best Accessory Gifts
Feeling like a clothing gift is a bit of a heavy lift? An easy but thoughtful alternative is jewelry. Check photos to see if your loved one prefers gold or silver jewelry, and gauge whether they prefer something more eye-catching or subtle. I rounded up a few options that can be super personalized like Baublebar’s Custom Cluster Charm Pendant or a bit more classic like these Wssxc Stud Earrings.
Baublebar Bubble Initial Necklace
Fashion can be tricky to shop for when gifting for others, but a safe bet will always be something like a name plate or in this case an initial necklace from Baublebar. It’s available in gold, gold with crystals, silver, and silver with crystals, just be sure to add your desired initial to the customization box before checking out.
Qulltk Magnetic Necklace Clasp
Give the gift of convenience with Qulltk’s Magnetic Necklace Clasp. It comes in a pack of six with three silver and six gold-plated clasps. It features a lobster claw on one side and a loop on the other to be latched onto your jewelry’s clasp. Now, when you go to take off your jewelry, all you have to do is pull it apart—and don’t worry, it’s not easily undone. Shop it for a dollar apiece.
Best Bag Gifts
I’m a certified bag lady, and this is because of all the bags I’ve been gifted over the years. The best thing about gifting a purse is that you can get quality for cheap or splurge on that bag you’ve been eyeing all year. Shop everyday styles like Coach’s Lana Shoulder Bag or something for when you’re jet setting like the Béis Weekender Bag. You can even shop Jw Pei bags for the Oprah fan in your life (including yourself).

Bandolier Billie Crossbody iPhone Case
Everytime I wear Bandolier’s Billie Crossbody iPhone Case out I get compliments on it. I’m able to go hands-free by not having to carry my phone or a purse. It holds my cards, lip gloss, hand sanitizer, gum, lotion, and more effortlessly. I love it so much, I’m asking for it in the tan and gold for Christmas.
Coach Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 28
My TikTok has been flooded with unboxing videos of Coach’s Brooklyn Shoulder Bag. It’s been a high sell-out risk, but it’s currently in stock in black, brown, and gray. The tote has a relaxed, oversized silhouette, and yes, your laptop and iPad will fit.
